Time and cost depends on how severe is your problem and what treatment is required in your case since every case is unique. Mostly orthodontic braces will cost you more and duration will be more sometimes from 1.5 to 2.5 years in severe cases. Other cosmetic treatment will be of few hours duration and much more cheaper than braces. But without clinical visualization of your problem, no one can tell what treatment will be best and suitable for you.

Infections in the mouth, such as dental caries (tooth decay), periodontal (gum) disease or mouth sores related to other conditions may contribute to bad breath.
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth may be a warning sign of gum (periodontal) disease. Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth.
Dry mouth also can cause bad breath.
Smoking or chewing tobacco-based products also can cause bad breath,
You may need deep cleaning & fill tooth cavities with artificial enamel filling. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash until then.
